About

I teach based upon the individual needs of each student.

I've taught music since I was 15 years old at various music stores throughout the years and I'm 53 now.

I have 38 years of music performance experience to draw from.

I have my Bachelor of Arts in Music Performance on String Bass in Jazz from Saginaw Valley State University.

I am currently earning my Masters of Music Performance on String Bass from Wayne State University.

I enjoy the fact that a student learning is also a teacher teaching.

I love seeing the students eyes show the glow of their "a-ha!" moments.

I have more than one teaching philosophy that I use.

I have had experience teaching as a Michigan state certified public school music educator through my time as a BA student at SVSU.

    Frequently asked questions

    I ask them probing questions about their short and long term goals and we work at one goal at a time until each goal has been reached, then we discuss new goals.

    I can teach you ear training.

    I have absolute pitch.

    I have a ton of experience performing many different styles of music in front of large crowds. 
    I have 38 years of teaching private music experience to draw from.

    I've done work with the developmentally disabled, including teaching them music.

    My pricing is based on the average per lesson price, with is somewhere between $25-$35 per half hour lesson.

    My rates are flexible in the case that you're low income but still want excellent quality lessons. Contact me for details.

    I got started teaching because there seemed to be a shortage of bass players in Saginaw, MI. at the time, and Marty up at Whitehead Music was kind enough to oblige me.

    I've worked with all different kinds of learners.

    I am very fond of my weekly double bass lessons with Paul Keller, as part of my Graduate Masters of Music studies at Wayne State University.

    Take your time looking. Ask your potential teachers probing questions about their experiences and don't be afraid to be yourselves.

    They should try to assess their goals, both short and long term. Be realistic about the time you have available to put in to reaching those goals.
